EPF currently has bank accounts at Himalayan Bank Ltd., Machhapuchchhre Bank Ltd., and NIC Asia Bank Ltd. So, when you make payments for any loan through connect IPS, it will be credited to one of the above banks where EPF has an account. You can use Connect IPS to pay loans if you have a bank account at any of the 55 member banks and financial institutions. Hence, this digital payment system makes it easier for loanees since you do not have to go to the EPF office or its designated banks to make payments.

After that, you need to have at least one bank linked and verified in the system. Then, you can select the payment for the Provident fund option and then fill out the necessary details. In this way, you can make the EPF payments online through the ConnectIPS system.
